The Obria Group is a religious 501(c)(3) non-profit that runs crisis pregnancy centres in the United States.[1] They have 30 clinics in 5 states.[2] In 2018, they applied for but were turned down for a title X grant because they did not provide hormonal birth control.[3] In 2019, they received millions of dollars of grants of title X funding from the Trump administration after promising to provide birth control.[4][3] The grant garnered criticism because title X grants are intended to fund family planning services, which the centres did not at the time of award provide, aside from advising less effective methods such as abstinence and the rhythm method.[3] Google has been criticised for giving them grants for ads which have been called "deceptive."[5]
The Obria Group were previously known under the name Birth Choice Health Clinics.[6]
